Overview
Footage of the 1905-6 tour of India, which at the time represented the most extensive survey of the sub-continent undertaken by members of the Royal Family. Filmed by the British division of the French film company Pathé Frères, it focuses on the initial stages of the tour – the landing and reception at Bombay, and a Durbar in Indore. We see the royal party, accompanied by Lord and Lady Curzon, being received by Maharajas as they land in Bombay; there is footage of the Prince’s reception speech; and in this six-minute film there are no less than five military parades.
